THE Secretary Of the Treasury has had
published all over the country that $l2-
o00,C00 was paid out In July for pensions.
In fact, not dollar was disbursed or pail
out OF the treasury. All the pension agents
in the country, at the close of the fiscal
year, are required to turn over whatever
money they have on hand. On the Both OF
june the various pension agencies had about
sl2,000,000 in the repositories to their
creGit This money was technically "cov-
cred into the treasury" on that day, aud on
the lst Of July 1t was again placed to the
credit Of the various agents. Not q dol

post, and only the small amount necessary
to pay the first payment on newly granted
pensions has been or will be disbursed until
the 4th of September, which is the neSI

States There is no law for 1t, and although
the commissioners, according to the comp

Mount Vernon Avenue.

Immediate steps ought to be taken to
make a splendid drive from the Virginia
terminus of the Aqueduct bridge to Mount
Vernon. Two and quarter miles Of this
road would pass through the government
property at Arlington, nearly five miles
through Alexandria county, and seven
miles through Fairfax county, Virginia.
n grand avenue, one hundred feet wide,
properly graded, macadamised, and shaded
should cover the distance between the cap
ital city OF the nation and the tomb OF It's
great founder. This avenue would con-
meet Alexandria with Washington. 1t
would cause villas belonging to the wealth
fest citizens Of tho nation to be built along
and near the avenue. 1t would add vastly
to the prosperity and wealth Of Washing
tor, and the leading citizens of Washington
should move !c she matter otico.
Alexandria is most vitality interested In
this question. Such au avenue would give
the citizens Of that historic city two spleu-
did drives, one to Washington and the other
to Mount Vernon 1t would take hundreds
Of tie citizens Of Washington every pleas
AIT d6y 10 and through Alexandria, and
mcst Of them would spend more or less OF
their epare cash in passing. It would give
Anew competitive line of travel to Wash
iretcn.
II would benefit the people OF Alexan-
diia county In very mlUy ways 1t would
advance tie price of oil real estate within
scmc miles Of tic avenue, 1t would c0nse
tie improvements of all roads leading into
the avenue. 1t would Girc q new and b4t-
ter route for bringing all kinds Of farm
produce, both into Washington AMI Alex
aLdrla.
The avenue would confer similar benefit;
or FeiIfaX county. The beautiful country
through which the avenue would pass lr)ni
Alexandria to Mt. Vernon would be dotted
with handsome residences on both sides o.
the avenue, and as In Alexandria county th9
value Of property would b. increased, roads
leading to the avenue would be improved
and the farmers would have a first class
method Of reaching two good markets with
all their produce.
The commissioners OF Alexandra and
Fairfax counties should take immediate
steps to open this avenue. 1t is true the
laws Of Virginia do not allow more than O
width Of sixty feet condemned for road
purposes, but there surely woud be no
property owner on the route so foolish NJ
torefuse the additional forty feet necessary
to make one of the graudest drives in tn,
world, and If there were any such they
could soon be brought to terms by specia
act of the legislature of Virginia.
The parties at interest in this matter arr
the people of Washington, of the city ant
county of Alexandria, and those OF Fair
fax county. VIII they not all move at onct

CHARGES rop sKElNINe YARN
a Circular of Instructions Issued by
the Treasury Department..

the Treasury Department.
Assistant Secretary Maynard yesterday
issued a circular to customs officers In re.
gard to the dutiable character Of charges
for spooling, reeling, and skeining yarn.
lie says that whether these charges are to
be excluded in determining the dutiable
value Of the merchandise depends upon the
determination OF a question Of fact when
must be made In the first instance by the
custom officers, namely, whether the yarn
before skeinlng or spooling has reached
such a stage OF complete manufacture as
TO render IL a. without further addition or
work, for all the uses to which the 6nished
article is usually applied. From the evil
deuce before the department, he adds, 1t
would appear that ordinarily such yarn is
not In a condition to be Immediately and
directly used in the manufacture OF cloth or
other fabric without being subjected to fur
thcr preparatory processes, such as securing,
dyeing, genapping, &c, aud In order to
snhiect 1t to these further processes IL is
necessary that 1t should be transferred
from spools or bobbins upon which 1t is
wound when spun and made up into
skelns or other similar forms, and that this
Is the principal object or use TO be sub
served by the reellng or skeiniug. III this
is SO, continues MIR. Maynard, II follows
that the charges for reelng aud skeinlng,
under the opinion OF Attorney General,
are not to be deducted in determining the
dutiable value Of the goods, but may be
included as forming part OF the cost OF
the manufacture of the same. These re.
marks, however, have no application TO
the so-called "zephyr" and "white botany"
| yarns. The precise question involved In
| this decision was considered at the recent
| conference Of local appraisers at New York
| city and the conclusion was unanimously
| adopted that departments decision (Synop-
sis 1902 does not apply to the ordinary
worsted yarns in skeins and 10 warps, but
| TO the zephyr yarn aud linen thread, as the
former has to be secured, genapped, dyed,
and reeled before becoming a finished pro.
duct, aud that the charges for reeling and
| warpng are dutiable as part of the value OF
| the goods per Sc. Mr.. Maynard says the
| department concurs In this conclusion, and
that all decisions on this subject will bs
modified accordingly.
